Jim Carrey’s 2014 Commencement Speech At Maharishi University

Jim Carrey is easily the funniest guy in the world, as far as I’m concerned, but he’s also an incredibly inspirational man for thousands of people, and an extremely intelligent man as well. Maharishi University asked Jim Carrey to give an honorary commencement speech for this very reason, and the words he had to say are amazing, and will definitely inspire me to be better in all paths of life… while simultaneously laughing and having a wonderful time being me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do when I watch it.

Even the parts meant to be a joke have incredible insight into life. Granted, it’s more obvious within his serious moments, but his speech is filled with amazing goodies for you.

Maharishi University of Management granted degrees to 285 students representing 54 countries. Jim Carrey gave the commencement address to Maharishi University of Management’s class of 2014. The University Board of Trustees also presented Mr. Carrey with the honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts Honoris Causa, in recognition of his significant lifetime achievements as a world-renowned comedian and actor, artist, author and philanthropist.

The university really exemplifies who Carrey is as a person, and the values of the school aligns with Jim’s philosophy so much, that he’s even donated a wonderful painting to the school, which he explains took him “thousands of hours to complete” The story behind the painting is just as breathtaking as the rest of the speech. It’s easily top 3 in terms of commencement speeches on the internet.
